Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

"He doesn't look like someone from a prestigious family at all... But I don't hate him either..."

"Hmm~ The child's father—" Turning to look at the other side, Toyokawa Shoko saw her mother excitedly shouting to her father: "Should we prepare a wedding dress for Shoko?"

"Wedding dress!"*2

Seeing her terrified husband and panicked daughter, Mrs. Toyokawa said sternly, "What do you know? If you don't tie him down soon, who knows, some other girl might steal his attention in the future."

"What's more..." She crossed her arms and looked at Toyokawa Shoko expectantly, "Mom, I'm really looking forward to the day when Shoko wears her wedding dress!"

Wearing a wedding dress is one of the most important things in a girl's life.

Looking at the girl in the white wedding dress in the mirror, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly remembered the night after her second meeting with Naruse Ritsu.

At this moment, her mother was looking at her lovingly, while her father was still looking at her fiancé with an unhappy face - ah, now he should call Lu "husband".

As the maid of honor, Xiao Mu smiled very rarely. The praises and admirations of the guests outside the house for the newlyweds seemed to reach her ears through the doors and windows.

She must be the happiest girl in the world.

Toyokawa Shoko was sure of this.

Walking out of the room filled with love and hope, the next moment she saw a brand new future, the world changed drastically.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, white crystals falling endlessly in space. Purple-black points of light, like embers, rose from below and floated around her body.

Foreign objects invaded and chills continued to spread from all parts of the body.

Struggling violently with tears in her eyes, Shoko Toyokawa vaguely saw a figure appear in her blurred vision.

Soon, the excess tears froze and dried, and she finally saw clearly what was in front of her.

84 Jun Yang 2 Shi Ling 49 VII Umbrella Hiss. Where to forget this place? Hope of the garden エデン (1)

As clear as a diamond, yet as fragile as thin ice.

This is her life.

After waking up from an intoxicating dream, Shoko Toyokawa had to face the bleak reality before her.

The moss on the surrounding ground was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the blinding light that could almost burn the eyes shone wantonly in the sky.

When she felt a foreign object enter her mouth, she didn't know where she got the strength from, and she even had enough strength to push Ritsu Narose away from her.

Pulling some distance, she saw that Ritsu Narose was holding a vague object in his hand.

A bitter taste filled her mouth - it was obvious that it was Ritsu Narose who had used some method to forcibly pull her out of the dream.

Without paying attention to the bitterness, Toyokawa Shoko looked at her body.

The black clothes that were larger than her whole body wrapped her in layers, and only her face seemed to be forcibly torn open, allowing her to feel the still dropping temperature around her.

In her hand, the small sickle given by Tianhuilong burned with an ominous purple color, which matched her appearance very well.

That's what the guy calls a "deal"...

Ignoring the silk thread connecting her body, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and looked at the face that she could not forget in her dream.

The false sweetness quickly faded away, and the coldness brought by the melting snowflakes on the surface of the skin intertwined with the sourness in the heart, turning into the anger of the soul longing to be forgotten.

"You came to me on your own accord... you interfered with my thoughts... you messed me up..."

The images from her dream were vivid, and those enchanting scenes only made Toyokawa Shoko even angrier. She ignored everything around her, her tearful golden eyes glaring at the figure just a few meters away.

——"Guys like you... I hate them the most!!!"

Purple scales suddenly burst out in front of Mingse Riku, and they flew towards the red flame burning in the wind and snow like moths.

When her vision was filled with endless purple and black, Toyokawa Shoko realized what she had just done.

Suddenly, weakness and fatigue swept over my whole body.

Even though she knew that Ritsu Narose did this for her, she still hurt the people who cared about her in a moment of impulse.

The more you do, the more mistakes you make.

Time and again, as long as she persists meaninglessly, the pain will never end.

In a trance, the voice from the past screamed in her ears, telling her the story of those enslaved by fate and doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

But now she has fallen into an abyss, and there is no turning back...

As if sensing the body's waning consciousness, the thread hanging from the sky emitted a purple glow, bringing the unconscious puppet back under its control.

Not caring about Toyokawa Shoko's resistance to him just now, Naruse Ritsu raised his head and looked at the figure standing tall above him.

"Why, don't you care whether she lives or dies?"

Ignoring the guy's trash talk, Ritsu Narushe turned to look at the Ice Curse Dragon, who was in charge of controlling the situation. "Her situation is more troublesome than I thought. The inhibitors I have are not enough to block the effects of the scale powder."

Although he spoke of the current situation that was unfavorable to them, his expression was calm as water: "Prepare for the next step."

They had already considered the possibility of the Tianhui Dragon using its scale powder to control others. The arrogant ancient dragon, acting solely on impulse, clearly had no idea how easily its every move could be predicted.

"Shall I hold it back?"

"No, it's up to me."

Changing the details of the battle plan temporarily, Naruse Ritsu quickly said, "Go to the basement and get the inhibitor solution we prepared in advance."

The reason why it is not placed here in advance is that the overwhelming AOE from both sides may accidentally break the container containing the inhibitor.

The materials that Ritsu Narushe had plundered that night during his surprise attack must be put to good use. The Anti-Heavenly Dragon Noble Phantasm they had painstakingly crafted could not be wasted in such a ridiculous manner.

Not good at refusing, and having no reason to refuse. The Ice Curse Dragon left the place in response, leaving Naruse Ritsu alone to face the Tenkai Dragon and the puppet it controlled called "Toyokawa Shoko".

While the blizzard caused by the ancient dragon was still lingering, the bright silver ancient dragon, emitting red light, began its action...

……

Amidst thunderous applause, Chihaya Aine waved happily to the audience and skipped towards the backstage.

"How's it going? Did I play it super well?"

"Yes, yes, okay, okay."

Knowing that this pink-haired girl would shine brightly with a little sunshine, Shiina Riki nodded perfunctorily.

Unaware that her actions were gradually becoming similar to Naruse Ritsu's previous "serious response," she searched everywhere for someone. However, after looking around, Shiina Ritsuki still couldn't find Naruse Ritsu.

"Strange, where did he go..."

"Hmm? Is Naruse-kun missing?" Looking around, Chihaya Aine said with a rather relaxed attitude, "He must have gone off somewhere to laze around. I'll go check in the lounge."

As a drummer, Shiina Riki didn't have to rush to take her instrument back to the lounge like Chihaya Aine and the others. She and Takamatsu Deng headed to the other side, but she saw an unexpected person at the reader reception counter.

Staring at the figure that appeared over there in amazement, Shiina Riki first rubbed his eyes, then looked around to make sure he was not hallucinating.

"Hai Ling!?"

Behind the seat, a figure wearing a Moai mask sat quietly, holding a small wooden sign. On the sign, the four bold black characters "I am the author?" and a punctuation mark stood out.

Upon hearing its own name, the Moai statue turned its head slightly, and then its body suddenly became stiff.

He had come to see the excitement, but was instead drafted by Naruse Ritsu. Seeing Shiina Ritsuki, whose expression was equally uncontrollable, Hachiman Kairin sighed helplessly behind her mask.

I should have not agreed to his request earlier...

The mask concealed her embarrassment at the moment. Hachiman Kailing turned back wordlessly and continued to perform her job of "pretending to be the author and giving the readers the stamp of approval"...

……

Coming out of the lounge, Chihaya Aine happened to run into the ice-blue girl wandering in the corridor.

"Um, do you know where Naruse-kun is?"

"know."

After answering this question, the Ice Curse Dragon Aisha continued to follow the green indicator light on the ground to find the exit of this space.

Why are the houses built by humans so complicated?

Although the time flow rate on both sides is different and there is still plenty of time for her to act, isn't it too passive to keep going like this?

Want to ask someone?

……

Not knowing what the directionally challenged woman was thinking, seeing that she remained silent after answering the previous question, the outgoing Chihaya Aine once again stopped the cold-tempered Gu Long.

"Well... could you tell us where Naruse-kun is right now? The event is about to start."

"He's dealing with ancient dragons—and humans, too. It's a long story."

Gu Long, who has lived at home for a long time, has a simple and ancient style and is not good at speaking, answers every question.

Not caring about the consequences of her answer, she rushed towards the back door of the bookstore where the emergency passage led.

85. Forgotten This Side II Jiu Lin Gu Umbrella V IIyi 3 Spirits * Dream? Hope Garden エデン (2)

"wait wait wait--"

Stopping the difficult-to-communicate Miss Koron again, Chihaya Aine hurriedly said, "Can we go together?"

"You guys are going too?"

Looking at these humans who were overestimating their own abilities, she tried hard to think whether this was in line with the instructions that Ritsu Narushe had conveyed to her.

"Are you serious? That kind of thing is definitely not something we can get involved in, right?"

Instead of being carried away by the passion, Shiina Riki became the brake pad, quickly cooling down the exciting atmosphere.

"Riki is planning to let Naruse-kun do something dangerous?"

Although she hadn't understood the full story yet, Chihaya Aine sensed something unusual in the Ice Curse Dragon that suddenly appeared today.

Even if it was beyond her ability, she didn't want to do nothing after learning about the situation.

"I didn't say that!"

As if being looked down upon by this pink-haired girl, Shiina Riki's expression changed slightly. He then looked at Nagasaki Suyo, who had been silent since the beginning of the discussion: "Haven't you tried it before? Those potions he's been tinkering with should come in handy now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Suyo first recalled the embarrassing scene that night when she was hung by Naruse Ritsu's tail for more than ten minutes, and then she understood what Shiina Riki meant.

Her love for Ritsu Naruse contained dependence, and the uneasiness caused by the one-sided dependence turned into a dedication that drove her to make up her mind.

If I want to stay with Ritsu Narose for a long time, I must be exposed to the world he sees.

Nagasaki Suyo is naturally greedy, and greed is not always a bad thing in her opinion.

Seeing her nod in agreement, Shiina Riki quickly organized his words: "We must be well prepared before we go, and if we go... me, Aine, and Suyo," nodding to himself and the other two, "The three of us are enough, Deng and Rakuna will stay here and wait for us to come back."

"Eh?"

He never expected that Li Xi would take him out at this time. Gao Songdeng pointed at himself and didn't know what to say.

But before she could speak, Yao Le Nai on the side clearly objected.

"No."

Her expression didn't change much, but the way she stared at Shiina Riki undoubtedly conveyed that she would not stay still.

"Huh? Do you know this is dangerous—"

Just as he was about to put on a fierce attitude and scold the disobedient cat, Shiina Riki suddenly shuddered.

"Excuse me," said Ice Curse Dragon, who had lowered the room temperature to allow the group to calm down physically. "How many of you are going... I think they're all pretty much the same."

Recalling what Ritsu Narose had previously explained, she felt that she understood everything.

"So you guys go together!"

Well, show her the way...

……

In the basement of Ritsu Narose's house, Chihaya Aine looked at the labels on the bottles and jars, and then fell into confusion.

Strawberries, oranges, chocolate, matcha... What are all these things? Is it really related to pharmaceuticals?

"Hey, how long are you going to stare at the concentrated puree? All the potions are here."

So these are used to mix drinks?

Walking to another potion table, Chihaya Aine began to browse the labels on the potion shelf.
